President’s Welcome Dear New CHC Student:

Welcome to Crafton Hills College where we are dedicated to providing a quality learning environment. With more than 35 degree programs and 30 certificate options, Crafton Hills College offers a variety of educational paths for both transfer and career preparation. Our outstanding faculty and staff are committed to student success throughout the college, regardless of the program or service area.

Two new facilities came on board in fall 2010 to better serve students. The Learning Resource Center (LRC) is a 60,000 square foot building where the library and the tutoring center are located along with student study rooms, a 100 seat auditorium, and an art gallery. The LRC is surrounded by the Living Wall and new walkways through the center of campus. The Aquatics Center on the northeast side of the campus houses a former Olympic training pool, a large classroom, and training areas for athletes. Future projects include a new student center, a science building, a parking structure, alternative energy sources, and the renovation of a variety of classrooms and buildings. Students will be able to enjoy top-quality learning spaces to compliment outstanding instruction.

In addition to coursework, Crafton Hills College also offers a range of support services and extra-curricular activities. Students can receive assistance in the areas of Financial Aid, Admissions and Re-cords, Counseling, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSP&S), and Health Services. The Student Life Office oversees student government and numerous clubs and organizations. The newly instituted College Hour will provide opportunities for students to be involved in a full college experience.

Crafton Hills College is dedicated to meeting community needs by preparing students to become leaders and productive citizens. We are proud of the 6,200 current students who have chosen the College as the place to pursue their dreams.

Sincerely, Gloria Macías Harrison, President

Matriculation ServicesMatriculation is a process that promotes and sustains the efforts of community college students to achieve their educational goals successfully through a coordinated program of instruction and support services. The college provides an admission process, assessment of basic skills, orientation to college, counseling, advisement and follow-up services to assist students with establishing and meeting their individual educational objectives. All new students to Crafton Hills College are required to participate in the following major components of Matriculation help insure their success. (To receive an exemption from any of these components, review the “Exemption criteria” which follows and see a counselor)

1. Admission – a uniform process of application and registration assures equitable student access to the educational offerings of the college. 2. Assessment – Multiple measures including a standardized assessment of skill proficiency in reading, mathematics and English are used to assist with placement into courses in these areas or courses which have pre-requisites in reading, mathematics or English. 3. Orientation-Through orientation/advisement workshops new students to Crafton Hills College are introduced to the College’s programs, services, academic regulations, and expectations. Students also develop a first semester Student Educational Plan (SEP). 4. Counseling and Advisement – Each student will meet with a counselor to initiate a Student Educa-tional Plan (SEP) that outlines the appropriate courses needed to reach the student’s identified educa-tional goal. The student will meet with a counselor on an ongoing basis to revise and/or update the SEP, as necessary. 5. Follow-up - The faculty at Crafton Hills College use an “Early Alert” process to monitor student’s progress in courses. Students who are identified as needing additional support are contacted by the Counseling office or Student Success program to provide advice and assistance to resolve their difficul-ties. Students are also encouraged to utilize the services of the Learning Resource Center (LRC).

Exemption Criteria

Some students may be exempted from one or more of these components if they have met one of the fol-lowing criteria and can show documentation of such: • Completion of an Associates Degree or higher at another accredited college or university, • Completion of coursework in English and mathematics at another accredited college or university upon which determination of pre-requisites can be made. • Concurrently matriculated status at another accredited college or university with documentation of that status (e.g. assessment results including placement recommendations) • Enrollment in a single course for the purpose of personal enrichment or vocational advancement that does not require English or mathematics as a prerequisite, corequisite or recommendation (e.g. Physical Education, Applied Arts, courses for re-licensing or vocational advancement) Note: Students must see a counselor to receive an exemption.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be used when applying for financial aid. Applying on time is critical. Be sure to contact the Financial Aid Office regarding deadlines. The com-pleted FAFSA should be done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov after January 1, but no later than the last day of the previous spring semester, in order to ensure funds will be available for the beginning of the fall semester in August. Our school code is 009272. After submitting your FAFSA on-line, you must come into the financial aid office approximately 4 days later to open your file in the financial aid office re-gardless if you are a new student or a returning student, everyone must open a new file each year. It is important, however, that all requested documentation be returned as soon as possible. Financial aid awards are made only after a student’s file is complete. On-time applicants (those who have complete application by June 1, 2011 and who have returned all requested materials) can expect to receive a fi-nancial aid award letter by July.

Students receiving financial aid are expected to make satisfactory academic progress toward their edu-cational goal. This includes completing all classes successfully. The Financial Aid staff is here to assist you. Students often find applying for financial aid a difficult and confusing process. Those needing help or advice are encouraged to go to the Financial Aid Office.

Transfer CenterThe Transfer Center assists students with the process of transferring to four-year colleges and universi-ties by providing the most current information available to ensure a smooth transition. In the transfer center students have access to a current catalog collection of California public universities (both in print and on the web) current articulation agreements between Crafton Hills College and many public and private institutions, and CSU and UC admissions information and applications. The Center also pro-vides access to web-based transfer research sites. Representatives from local four-year public and pri-vate institutions are available by appointment on a regular basis to provide more in-depth information on programs and transfer requirements to their specific institutions. Workshops on preparing applica-tions and as well as other topics are sponsored by the transfer center on an ongoing basis.

Clubs- Clubs provide opportunities for students to make good friends and enhance learning, not to mention having fun through a club experience. There are a variety of student clubs: Cultural, religious, vocational, general interest, and scholastic. If you don’t see a club you might be interested in joining, perhaps you would like to start a new one. New clubs are always welcomed.

For a comprehensive list of active clubs and organizations, and how to join them, contact the Department of Student Life at 909.389.3410.

Cancelled ClassesThe college reserves the right to cancel any class that does not meet the minimum size requirements es-tablished by the district. Students will automatically be mailed a refund of the enrollment fees for any class cancelled by the college.

Open ClassesStudents who have been officially admitted to Crafton Hills College are eligible to enroll in any class for which they meet either the prerequisites or corequisites or both. Of course, only so many persons can fit into classrooms and laboratories, so class sizes are limited and enrollment is on a first come, first served basis.

Withdrawal from a CourseWithdrawal from a course(s) may be approved in extenuating circumstances after the last day of the 14th week (or 75%) upon petition of the student and after consultation with the appropriate faculty. Ex-tenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illnesses, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. The "W" (withdrawal) should not be used in calculating grade point averages, but shall be used in determining probation and dismissal. A "W" shall not be assigned, or if assigned shall be removed, from a student's academic record, if a determination is made that the student withdrew from a course due to discriminatory treatment or due to retaliation for alleging discrimination treatment or that the student withdrew because he/she reasonably believed that remaining in the course would sub-ject him/her to discriminatory treatment/retaliation for alleging discriminatory treatment.

A "W" will not be assigned to any student who withdrew from one or more courses, where such with-drawal was necessary because of the student was engaged in fighting wildfires, was forced to evacuate his/her home due to such fires, or suffered loss or injury as a result of such fires.

When a student withdraws from a course three times, the student will be referred to counseling to help determine what is causing the need for repeated withdrawals. A fourth withdrawal may be permitted consistent with certain requirements.

Refund PolicyA. Class cancelled by the college If a class is cancelled by the college, you will automatically be mailed a refund of the enrollment fees for any class cancelled by the College. If this class is your only class for the term, you will receive a refund of all fees except the parking fee and AS Card fee. To receive a refund of the parking fee, you must complete a “Request for Refund” form and attach the parking decal to the form. Turn in this form and the decal to the Communications Office, LADM-153. To receive a refund of the AS Card fee, com-plete a “Request for Refund” and attach the semester/annual sticker to the form. Turn in this form and the sticker to the Office of Student Life.

2. Parking, health, accident insurance, associ-ated student (AS) card, student center, and the student representation fees: In order to be eligible for a refund, a student must withdraw prior to the first day of the term for a full-term class or prior to the first day of instruction for a short-term class.

C. Unit Reduction If a change of program within the first two weeks of a full-term class or during the first 10% of a short-term class results in a reduction in the number of units taken, the enrollment fee or non-resident fee will be refunded at the per-unit cost of the reduction.

D. Class WithdrawalA student who withdraws from a class or the college after the second week of instruction for a full-term class or the first 10% of a short-term class is not eligible for any refund.

E. Refund Processing Fee A charge of $10 will be collected for each refund transaction not to exceed $10 per student per semester; no charge applies for cancelled classes or over payments.

F. Instructor drop Students who are dropped by instructors shall be eligible for a refund or credit pursuant to the District’s refund policy.

Students Should Not Rely on Instructors to Drop or WithdrawFailure to officially drop or withdraw by the drop deadline may result in the assignment of an “F” (Failing) grade.

Class Attendance It is the student’s responsibility to attend classes regularly and on time.

Students who do not attend the first class session may be dropped from the class at the discretion of the instructor. However, it is each student’s responsibility to officially drop any class they do not attend or stop

attending. If you must miss a particular class, you should notify the instructor as soon as possible, but in no case later than the first day you return to school. An instructor may drop you from a class for excessive

absences. Reinstatement is the prerogative of the instructor but must occur prior to the last date to add.

Pass/No Pass (Formerly Credit/No Credit CR/NC)Courses may be offered in either or both of the following categories: • Courses in which all students are evaluated on a "pass/no pass" basis. • Courses in which each student may elect on registration or by the end of the 5th week (or no later than the end of the first 30% of the term) to take the course on a "pass/no pass" basis. After the deadline, the only justification for a change from "pass/no pass" to a letter grade is institutional error or extraordinary circumstances that require approval through the college petition process. Students electing to be evaluated on the "pass/no pass" basis will receive both course credit and unit credit upon satisfactory completion of the course. In computing a student's grade point average grades of "pass/no pass" are omitted. Students may take up to fifteen (15) units of "Pass/No Pass" courses to apply toward graduation requirements. No course in your major or required by your major may be taken for "Pass/No Pass". However, "Pass/No Pass" for courses and subsequently declared a major in that course of study, the rule may be waived. A student must earn a grade of "C" to be granted "Pass/No Pass for a course. Students are held responsible for all assignments and examinations required in the course. The stan-dards of evaluation are identical for all students in the course. Instructions and forms may be obtained in the Admissions and Records Office located in SSA-213.

IncompletesAn incomplete or “I” symbol will be awarded to the student who, in the judgment of the instructor, is unable to complete a course due to a verified unforeseeable emergency. The condition for the removal of the "I" shall be stated by the instructor in a written record (Incomplete Form) this record shall contain not only the conditions for the removal of the "I" but also the grade assigned in lieu of its removal. This record must be given to the student (with a copy on file in the Admissions and Records Office) until the "I" is made up or the time limit has passed. A final grade shall be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or when the time limit for competency the work has passed. The time limit for the "I" to be made up is no later than one (1) year following the end of the term in which it was assigned. The "I" symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted nor for grade points. The Incomplete Form may be obtained from the Admissions and Records Office in SSA-213.

Students intending to earn an associate degree from Crafton Hills College must resolve all incomplete grades, whether at Crafton Hills College or any other regionally-accredited institution attended, prior to the end of the term in which the degree will be granted. Students must submit official transcripts to the Admission & Records Office showing the removal of all incomplete grades, replaced with an appropri-ate letter grade or other evaluative symbol.

Grade Point AverageOne question you will consistently hear as a student is, “What is your grade point average?” Grade point average, otherwise known as GPA, has important and far-reaching effects on your academic standing. Therefore, it is important to be able to calculate your GPA. To calculate your GPA, you will need a current and complete transcript or an accurate record you have kept yourself. This record needs to include all the courses you have taken, the grades you have received in those courses, and the number of units of each of those courses. It will also be helpful if you have a calculator handy.

How to Calculate Your GPAYour GPA or Grade Point Average is the average of your grades. You can calculate your GPA for one semester or you can calculate your cumulative, overall GPA.

Example: Units Grade Grade Course Attempted (numerical value) = PointsEngl 101 4 x B (3) = 12 Math 102 4 x A (4) = 16 Soc 100 3 x B (3) = 9 Polit 100 3 x C (2) = 6 Hist 101 3 x D (1) = 3 PE/I 108x4 (1) x W (0) = 0 PE/I 105x4 1 x F (0) = 0

Totals: 18 46

1. Grades are assigned a numerical value: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0 Note: Units attempted that result in P/NP, CR/NC, W, IP, RD or I grades are not used to calculate the GPA.

2. Multiply the units attempted by the numerical value of the grade to get the grade points: Units Attempted Grade Grade Points Example: 4 x B (3) = 12

3. Total the units attempted and the grade points.

4. The GPA is determined by dividing the total grade points by the number of attempted units: Grade Points Units Attempted Grade Point Average

Example: 46 ÷ 18 = 2.56

Grade Scale: 4.0 = A average 3.0 = B average

2.0 = C average 1.0 = D average 0.0 = F average

HonorsRecognitionScholastic achievement, leadership, service, and character are recognized by Crafton Hills College through a variety of honors and awards. The majority of these are sponsored by college and campus or-ganizations; however, a number are made possible by community organizations and interested citizens.

Honors Lists Two scholastic honors lists are prepared each fall and spring semester. Recognition is based on GPA earned during the individual semester as opposed to a cumulative GPA. Only units earned at Crafton Hills College will be used in calculating a student's GPA for the Dean's List and Honor's List.

Dean’s List: Students who complete a semester completing 12 or more units who achieve a grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 or above.

Honors List: Students who complete a semester completing 6 – 11.9 units who achieve a GPA of 3.5 or above.

Calculating GPA for Graduating with Honors A student’s GPA is calculated by dividing the total grade points by the total units attempted. Credits earned from other institutions will be included with the credits earned at CHC when calculating the stu-dent’s cumulative GPA for graduation.

Graduating with Honors: Students graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 – 3.99 at the end of the term in which they have applied for graduation will graduate with honors and have a notation added to their transcripts indicating such.

Graduating with Highest Honors: Students graduating with a cumulative GPA of 4.0 at the end of term in which they have applied for graduation will graduate with highest honors and have a notation added to their transcripts indicating such.

Honors at Commencement Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher at the end of the preceding fall term will be eligible to participate in the Commencement Ceremony as honor students. However, students must maintain a cu-mulative GPA of 3.5 or higher to be eligible to graduate with one of the above honor classifications.

Alpha Gamma Sigma Honor Society Students who are first semester college students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher or a lifetime member of the California Scholarship Federation or a student who has completed 12 units with a 3.0 or higher GPA may join AGS. Students who meet the membership requirement may apply for local and state AGS scholarships. Students may apply for permanent membership in AGS and may wear green and gold cords at graduation. For additional information, please contact Associated Student Government.

Students are required to have completed twelve (12) units at Crafton Hills College prior to applying for AP credit. An exception will be made to this requirement if an AP course serves as a prerequisite for a more advanced course. See a counselor for details. 3. Students will be granted credit for AP scores of three (3), four (4), or five (5) in specific subject ar-eas. Students must bring a copy of the AP score report to the Counseling Office for evaluation.

Units earned by AP examinations may be used to meet Certificate and Associate Degree require-ments.5. Units earned by AP examinations may be used towards CSU General Education Breadth certification according to the CSU approved list. 6. Units earned by AP examinations may be used to meet Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), with the exception of critical thinking-English composition and oral communica-tion requirements (Areas 1B and 1C). Credits earned with a score of 3 or higher on a designated AP examination may be applied when recognized by the college as equivalent to approved IGETC courses. Each individual AP examination can clear one course only. AP examinations taken for Biology, Chem-istry or Physics will not be granted laboratory credit. 7. Units of AP credit may not be used to satisfy financial aid, veterans or EOPS eligibility criteria re-garding enrollment status. 8.

NOTE: Some four-year institutions may not accept AP credit. The applicability and quantity of AP credits granted toward major/or\baccalaureate degree requirements continues to be determined by the individ-ual CSU, UC or private college campus. Students planning to transfer should check the catalog of the transfer institution to determine how AP credit is awarded at that school.

Unit LimitationsTo be considered a full-time student, you must carry a minimum of twelve (12) units. Regular full-time students are restricted to a maximum of eighteen (18) units each semester. During the summer session, students are restricted to one (1) unit for each week of instruction. For example, in the six-week session, you may carry up to six (6) units. If a student wishes an overload, that is, units in excess of the maxi-mum, he/she must receive approval from a College counselor prior to registering for classes. Contact the Counseling Center for exceptions to this policy.

Class Level of StudentsStudents are classified according to the number of units they have successfully completed. Students who have completed fewer than thirty units are considered freshmen; thirty or more, sophomore; students who have completed more than sixty units are classified as special students.

ExaminationsStudents must take all examinations given in the courses in which they are enrolled, and may not be ex-cused from the required examinations of any course, including final examinations. Students who are absent during an examination forfeit the right to make up the examination unless they have prior permis-sion from the instructor.

Final ExaminationsFinal examination hours and dates are published in the Schedule of Classes. Final examinations for short-term classes are given during the last class meeting. The established final examination schedule cannot be changed without approval from the Vice President of Instruction.

Repeating CoursesGenerally students may take a course only once. Students may repeat a course: 1. If the course number includes the notation x2, x3, or x4, then the course may be taken 2, 3, or 4 times, respectively.(55041(b) 2. If the course has been designed as an activity course and where it is found that the course content dif-fers each time it is offered to enhance the skills and proficiencies of the student. Such courses include, but are not limited to the following: • Physical Education courses, • Visual and Performing Arts courses in music, fine arts, theater or dance, • Career/Technical courses. These courses may not be repeated more than three (3) semesters. 3. If the course is necessary to meet a legally mandated training requirement as a condition of continued paid or volunteer employment. 4. If the student earned a substandard grade (D, F or NP), he/she may take the course up to three times in an effort to alleviate the substandard academic work. The most recent grade earned will be computed in the cumulative GPA and the student’s academic record so annotated (previous grade will not count). Students may repeat the course more than two times only upon approval though the college’s petition process.5. If the student earned a standard grade (A, B, C or P), he/she may repeat the course one time only upon approval through the college’s petition process. Grades issued under this petition will not be counted in the computation of the GPA. 6. If the has been a significant lapse of time since the student earned credit for the course and another institution of higher education to which the student seeks to transfer has established a recent require-ment which the student will not be able to satisfy without repeating the course, the student may repeat the course upon approval through the college’s petition process. Courses in which an “Incomplete” (I) has been recorded may not be repeated until a letter grade has been recorded. Student permanent records shall reflect all work attempted so that the student’s transcript is a true and complete academic record.

Academic Renewal without Course RepetitionStudents of Crafton Hills College may alleviate certain previous substandard academic and skills train-ing performance which is not reflective of present demonstrated abilities in accordance with the follow-ing educational principles and procedures. Academic renewal without course repetition may be accom-plished by submission of a petition to the appropriate campus committee. A student may petition to have any substandard grades for courses taken during two consecutive semesters of attendance at any accred-ited college eliminated from the computation of the total grade point average, not to exceed a total of thirty (30) units. Students submitting such petitions must have been enrolled and must have completed 24 units of college work at any accredited college with a grade point average of 2.5 or better subsequent to the semester being petitioned. The semester(s) under consideration must have been completed at least two semesters prior to the time of submitting the petition. Neither grades nor courses will be “taken off” the student’s record. Instead, courses under consideration will be indicated and annotated accordingly on the student’s permanent record. The student’s permanent records from other institutions will not be altered. The student may not request for Academic Renewal more than once.

Petition for Academic ExceptionsThe Academic Exceptions Committee has been established for students who encounter circumstances outside the realm of normal college policy and procedures that affect their educational progress. Peti-tions or appeals may be addressed to the Academic Exceptions Committee. Instructions and forms for petition may be obtained in the Admissions and Records Office (SSA-213).

Probation and DismissalStandards for Probation A student shall be placed on either Academic Probation or Progress Probation according to the follow-ing rules:

• Academic Probation: A student who has attempted at least 12 units and has earned a GPA below 2.0• Progress Probation: A students has enrolled in at least 12 units and has received a W, I, or NC in 50% or more of all units enrolled.

Removal from Probationary Status • Academic Probation: Removed when the student’s accumulated GPA is 2.0 or higher. • Progress Probation: Removed when the percentage of units (in which W, I, or NC was earned)

drops below 50%. When a student earns a grade point average of less than 2.0 while on either academic or progress proba-tion, he/she will not be allowed to register until after having completed the requirements established by the Counseling Department.

Standards of Student ConductIn the Classroom A proper teaching and learning environment is imperative for getting a good education. Everyone at Crafton Hills College is responsible for helping to create this environment, including students. Simple rules of courtesy apply.

Respect for the Instructor. This includes arriving on time, not leaving early, bringing appropriate materials, not speaking with other students while the instructor is talking, not brining food or drink into the classroom. Not being loud, boisterous, or argumentative.

Respect for Other Students. This includes not interfering with the rights of other to listen and par-ticipate, not being disrespectful, not using inappropriate language or harassing others in any way.

Academic Honesty. Lack of academic honesty in the classroom is considered a very serious of-fense. Any form of cheating on test or assignments, turning in work which is not one’s own (i.e., plagiarism), talking during tests, furnishing false information to college personnel, or knowingly misrepresenting oneself to the college is grounds for disciplinary action. The consequences of cheating are severe and may include receiving a grade of “F” for the class or possible expulsion form the college.

Instructor’s Rights. An instructor has the right to remove a student from the class at any time he or she considers a student’s actions to be interfering with a proper collegiate environment. The instructor may also refer the incident to the Vice President of Student Services for discipli-nary action as warranted.

Students’ Rights. All students have a right to due process. If a classroom conflict occurs, the stu-dent must first discuss the problem with the instructor. If this does not resolve the problem, the student should follow the procedures detailed in the SBCCD Board Policy, Student Grievances.

On the Campus Creating a proper campus environment is also very important for academic and individual success. The SBCCD Board of Trustees has established District-wide standards of student conduct which will be en-forced at all times. These rules of conduct are particularly important in large common areas such as the cafeteria, bookstore, vending areas, campus quads, and other regularly frequented areas. Students enrolled in the San Bernardino Community College District and campus visitors shall refrain from disruptive conduct which significantly interferes with the instructional program or college activi-ties, or which endangers the health or safety of members of the college, including visitors to the campus. Disruptive conduct on the part of any student or campus visitor shall be cause for disciplinary action in accordance with policies adopted by the San Bernardino Community College Board of Trustees and pursuant to appropriate sections of the Education Code, Section 76034, the Business and Professional Code, the Health and Safety Code and the Penal Code of the State of California. Infractions include but are not limited to:

Types of Disciplinary ActionReprimand: Written or verbal notice to the student or campus visitor that continued or repetitive be-havior or misconduct will be cause for further disciplinary action.Probation: Suspension of the privilege to participate in extracurricular activities and certain other stu-dent privileges. Suspension: Exclusion from the college and college-sponsored activities for a specified period of time. Expulsion: Exclusion by the SBCCD Board of Trustees from the college and all college-sponsored ac-tivities.

Faculty-Initiated Suspension A faculty member may remove, for good cause, any student from his/her class for up to two (2) class sessions.

4. The use, sale, possession or the presence of anyone under the influence of an illegal substance; pos-session of any poison classified as such by Schedule D, Section 4160, of the Business and Profes-sional Code.

5. The use or possession of alcoholic beverages on SBCCD property or at any college-sponsored event, or the presence of anyone under the influence of alcohol.

6. Willful or persistent smoking in any areas where smoking has been prohibited by law or by regula-tion of the SBCCD Board of Trustees.

roads and parking lots. 13. Persistent, serious misconduct when other means of correction have failed to bring about proper con-

duct.14. Obstruction of pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic while on SBCCD/college property or at college-

sponsored events.

Student Integrity PolicyGeneral Principal At Crafton Hills College individuals access educational opportunities in order to develop their unique potential. The College helps students prepare to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex society and to become part of an informed and engaged citizenry. An essential feature of this process is that the individual student complete assigned work and that there be valid assessment of the student’s accom-plishments. Instructors in every class have a right to assume that all examinations, quizzes, assignments, and other gradable work done by the student is that particular student’s own individual production, and has not benefited from unauthorized assistance from other sources.

Special Applications The presumption would be that, in written assignments, students are not permitted to use another per-son’s words without attribution. Specifically, plagiarizing the words of another writer (whether from a book, article, broadcast, internet, or another student) is not permitted. The presumption would be that, in quantitative assignments (such as accounting exercises, math homework or science lab reports), each student has independently derived his/her own data, made his/her own calculations, checked those fig-ures, and come up with his/her own interpretations of those results. The presumption would be that, in quizzes and examinations, each student has not received unauthor-ized help from another person, and in the case of closed-book test, no notes, books or electronic devices or electronic communication from other sources has been used. Students must take all examinations given in the courses in which they are enrolled, and may not be excused from the required examinations of any course, including final examinations. Students who are absent during an examination forfeit the right to make up the examination unless they have prior permis-sion from the instructor.

Final examination hours and dates are published in the schedule of classes. Final examinations for short-term classes are given during the last class meeting. The established final examination schedule cannot be changed without approval from the Vice President of Instruction. When an infraction involves unauthorized copying from or collaborating with another student in the class, all students participating are to be held guilty of the infraction. “I was just helping him/her by giving him/her the right answers” is not a defense. Incidences where student behavior does not adhere to these presumptions constitute academic dishonesty.

Announcement of Policy The College shall announce its general academic honesty policy in the widest possible fashion: website, catalog, schedule of classes, student handbook, etc. It is the duty of every instructor to announce special modifications and interpretations of that policy. For example, instructors may wish to permit group activities in class, open note exams, team projects, or out-of-class consultation on homework to check calculations or writing. The expectations of the proper use of tutors and study partners must also be clarified by individual instructors and/or programs. The faculty based modifications and interpretations of acceptable academic honesty must be communi-cated to students by some written format, such as the course syllabus, FAQ file, instructions on assign-ments, or other course documents or program documents. These documents should strive for specificity as to what constitutes an infraction and which sanctions shall be applied.

Reporting Faculty members are obligated to report incidences of infraction to the Vice President of Student Ser-vices. These reports should include the name of the student, course, instructor, assignment, nature and date of the infraction, and the sanction applied.

Infractions and Sanctions When a faculty member has a reasonable suspicion of a student’s lapse of academic integrity (based upon direct observation, witness(es), or documentary evidence) that faculty member must determine if the evidence is sufficient to warrant a finding of infraction; 2. determine if further investigation is required; 3. apply an appropriate sanction: This is to be at the discretion of the faculty member and can range from a warning (to be used only if there is some doubt about the clarity of the guidelines), to a reduced grade for the assignment, with attendant consequences. The disciplinary actions are consistent with Board Policy 5500, which lists cheating and plagiarism as behavior that subjects a student to such discipline. Administrative Regulation 5500 details a range of possible disciplinary actions: reprimand, probation, suspension, expulsion and specific steps to follow in cases of suspension or expulsion. In particular career-technical programs, the definitions and disciplinary procedures for academically dishonest or professionally unethical behavior are also governed by an external authority. The standards and processes established for students in these programs are different than those described in this docu-ment. Students in these programs will receive notification of these requirements upon admission to the program. Instructors in these programs are still obliged to report incidences of infraction to the Vice President of Student Services. The criterion for an appropriate sanction is that the sanction match the guidelines published (by the instructor, program, department, College, District, etc.) prior to the infrac-tion.In general, the sanction applied at the discretion of the instructor will be the maximum penalty imposed upon the student (s) violating the standards. However, in consultation with the instructor, the additional sanctions of suspension or expulsion may be applied by the Vice-President of Student Services in cases where: 1. there are repeated infractions by the same student; 2. the help from the other student was gained through coercion or duress; 3. another student’s work was accessed without the permission of that student; 4. the violator has threatened a witness or faculty member not to bring forth evidence in this case.

Appeal Students accused of academic dishonesty have a right to appeal the findings of the instructor, but the burden of proof will be on the student. The appeal will be made to the office of the Vice President of Student Services, who will arrange for the case to be heard by a panel. The appeals panel will be com-posed of three faculty members, one college administrator, and one student (selected by the Student Senate). If a simple majority of the panel vindicates the student, then the complaining faculty member’s sanction will not apply. A simple majority of this panel can sustain the finding that the student was guilty of violating the academic honesty policy of this course, and therefore, the sanction applied by the complaining faculty member will apply. Additionally, a simple majority of the panel may determine that institutional sanctions do apply against the student.

Student Rights and ResponsibilitiesPreambleCrafton Hills College exists for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of knowledge and creative expression, the development of students, and the general well being of our community and society.Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of this learning community, students are encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to en-gage in an independent and sustained search for knowledge and creativity. Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends on appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community. Students shall exercise their rights with responsibility, while not threatening or en-dangering the rights of other members of the Crafton Hills College community. Course Entry Expectations Prior to enrolling in courses, students shall have information available regarding the academic and/or performance standards recommended or required for the successful completion of the course. Such in-formation is explained in the Course Outlines for each course, available to the students from the respec-tive departments and on the Crafton Hills College web page. Course Expectations At the beginning of each course, students shall receive, in writing, information outlining the method of evaluating student progress, including the method by which the final grade is to be determined. Students are responsible for maintaining the academic and/or vocational standards, established and stated in ad-vance, for each class in which they are enrolled.Independent, Critical Thought and ExpressionInstructors shall permit free discussion, inquiry, and expression of thought by students within the pa-rameters detailed in SBCCD Board Policy 5500, Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures. LearningStudents are free to examine, discuss, and pursue all questions and avenues of interest to them, and ex-press their opinions, privately and publicly within the class setting, as appropriate to the course. AssociationsStudents shall be free to organize and join associations to promote their common interests in accord with the processes established in the Associated Students of Crafton Hills College By-laws. Invited Speakers Pursuant to SBCCD Board Policy 4320, Off-Campus Speakers, student organizations shall have the right to recommend, invite, and hear any person(s) of their choosing, as long as such speakers and/or performers comply with federal, state and local laws, and assume responsibility for the safety of the members of the college community and the protection of public property. It is the students’ responsibil-ity, through disclaimers on all published materials, to make clear to the college community and the lar-ger community that the public expressions of students, student organizations, and guest speakers and/or performers speak only for themselves. Publications Student publications serve to inform, instruct, influence, and entertain the campus community and are governed by SBCCD board policy. The Associated Students and the Director of Student Life have the responsibility to define the role of student publications, and set the standards. In doing so, they shall seek to strike a reasonable balance between academic and editorial freedom and the highest ethics of responsible journalism, avoiding libel, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity, harass-ment, and innuendo. All publications must state that the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the college or the student body.

Student Grievance Procedure

If you feel you have been treated unfairly, you have a right to complain. To ensure that your grievance receives a reasonable hearing, refer to SBCCD Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 5530. Refer to Administrative Regulation 5540 regarding grade appeals. Consult with the Student Services Office (SSA-306) to start the grievance procedures.

A. Student Grievances (SBCCD Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 5530) Grievance proceedings may be initiated against a District employee or another student for any of the following reasons:

1. Any act of threat or intimidation; 2. Any act of threat of physical aggression; 3. Any arbitrary action or imposition of sanctions without a proper regard to academic due proc-ess as specified in college procedures.

NOTICE: a. Grades are not grievable but can be appealed. (see Administrative Regulation 5540).b. Sexual harassment complaints are filed in accordance with Administrative Regulation 3430 and are not covered under Student Grievances. c. Discrimination complaints are filed in accordance with Administrative Regulation 3430 and are not covered under Student Grievances.

B. Student Grade Appeals (SBCCD Administrative Regulation 5540AP) According to California Education Code, Section 76224(a), when grades are given for any course of instruction taught in a community college district, the grade given to each student shall be the grade de-termined by the instructor of the course and the determination of the student’s grade by the instructor, in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, shall be final. This means that no individual at the college has the authority to change a grade unless persuasive evidence is presented indicating mis-take, fraud, bad faith or incompetence on the instructor’s part.

INFORMAL PROCESS All attempts should be made to resolve the grade dispute at the lowest level possible; however, a stu-dent may proceed directly to the formal process. Step 1: If possible, the student first meets with the faculty member who issued the grade; or, if the faculty member is no longer employed or working at the College, the student then meets with the De-partment Chair or designee to resolve the grade dispute. If resolved and a grade change is indicated, the instructor or designee completes a Grade Change Form. Step 2: If unresolved in Step 1, the student then meets with the Department Chair or designee. If resolved and a grade change is indicated, a Grade Change Form is completed. If the dispute is not re-solved then a formal appeal process can be initiated.

According to the Code, if mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence is the reason for the grade dispute, the burden of proof lies with the student to produce facts that support this allega-tion, proceeding then to the formal process. If such evidence exists, the student must complete the Grade Appeal Form and make an appointment to see the Dean.

FORMAL PROCESS

Step 1: The student meets with the Division Dean who will confer with the faculty member and/or Department Chair or designee, to attempt to resolve the grade dispute. If resolved and a grade change is indicated, the faculty member completes a Grade Change Form. Step 2: Investigation: If the matter is not resolved, the student may submit the issue to the Director of Admissions and Records, in consultation with the Vice President of Instruction and appropriate in-structional dean, where a full investigation will be conducted within 30 work days of the Step 2 filing date, and a determination made as to status of the grade dispute. During the investigation the student will be able to present evidence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence of the instructor. The in-structor will be able to provide evidence to support the grade. If the investigation shows fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, the investigative report will be provided to the Vice Chancellor of Human Resources for appropriate action. If a mistake has been made and a grade change is indicated, a Grade Change Form is submitted to Admissions and Records. Step 3: Hearing: If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved and a grade change may be warranted because evidence shows fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, the student may request a formal hearing by the Grade Appeal Committee through the Office of Admissions and Records. The committee shall be comprised of the Vice President of Instruction, 2 faculty members, 2 students and one educational ad-ministrator (not of the division where the accused faculty member works). A meeting will be convened within five (5) working days (unless mutually agreed upon to delay). The student and instructor, if still employed, will be expected to attend the hearing. All attempts will be made to contact an instructor who is no longer employed by the college regarding the grade dispute. The Grade Appeal Committee will provide a written decision to the student within five (5) working days of the date of the hearing. The decision of the Grade Appeal Committee is final. If resolved, the Change of Grade Form, the Grade Appeal Form, the written summary of the investigation findings, and the written decision of the Grade Appeal Committee are submitted to Admissions and Records.

C. Time for Filing a Grievance Notice The appropriate vice president, district manager, or designee will accept a formal written student griev-ance when submitted within 180 calendar days of the event’s occurrence and under the provisions speci-fied. A grievance may be denied if the events occurred more than 180 calendar days prior to the date in which the grievance was filed in writing. Only registered students may file a student grievance; non-student grievances may be considered by the designated vice president or manager if the grievance is a result of a dispute arising out of the registra-tion or enrollment process, and the grievance is filed within thirty (30) calendar days of the alleged inci-dent. If more than one student files a grievance against an individual on the same issue or situation, members of the group shall select one person to serve as spokesperson/representative for the entire group. A copy of all relevant Board Policies and Administrative Regulations can be obtained in the Student Services Office (SSA-306).

Discrimination and Harassment San Bernardino Community College District Board Policy BP 3430

Prohibition of Discrimination and Harassment All forms of discrimination and harassment are contrary to basic standards of conduct between individu-als and are prohibited by state and federal law, as well as this policy, and will not be tolerated. The Dis-trict is committed to providing an academic and work environment that respects the dignity of individu-als and groups. The District shall be free of sexual harassment and all forms of sexual intimidation and exploitation. It shall also be free of other unlawful harassment, including that which is based on any of the following statuses: race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation of any person, or because he or she is perceived to have one or more of the foregoing characteristics.

The District seeks to foster an environment in which all employees and students feel free to report inci-dents of harassment without fear of retaliation or reprisal. Therefore, the District also strictly prohibits retaliation against any individual for filings a complaint of harassment or for participating in a harass-ment investigation. Such conduct is illegal and constitutes a violation of this policy. All allegations of retaliation will be swiftly and thoroughly investigated. If the District determines that retaliation has oc-curred, it will take all reasonable steps within its power to stop such conduct. Individuals who engage in retaliatory conduct are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination or expulsion. Any student or employee who believes that he or she as been harassed or retaliated against in violation of this policy should immediately report such incidents by following the procedures described in AP 343. Su-pervisors are mandated to report all incidents of harassment and retaliation that come to their attention.

This policy applies to all aspects of the academic environment, including but not limited to classroom conditions, grades, academic standing, employment opportunities, scholarships, recommendations, dis-ciplinary actions, and participation in any community college activity. In addition, this policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including but not limited to hiring, placement, promotion, dis-ciplinary action, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, training opportunities and compensation. To this end the Chancellor shall ensure that the institution undertakes education and training activities to counter discrimination and to prevent, minimize and/or eliminate any hostile environment that impairs access to equal education opportunity or impacts the terms and conditions of employment.

The Chancellor shall establish procedures that define harassment on campus. The Chancellor shall fur-ther establish procedures for employees, students, and other members of the campus community that provide for the investigation and resolution of complaints regarding harassment and discrimination, and procedures for students to resolve complaints of harassment and discrimination. All participants are protected from retaliatory acts by the District, its employees, students, and agents. This policy and re-lated written procedures shall be widely published and publicized to administrators, faculty, staff, and students, particularly when they are new to the institution. They shall be available for students and em-ployees in all administrative offices. Employees who violate the policy and procedures may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Students who violate this policy and related pro-cedures maybe subject to disciplinary measures up to and including expulsion.
